The First of the Year

I forgot to turn off my alarm on Saturday night and off it went at 5:45 Sunday morning. Not that it woke me up. Lately I’ve been conscious well before the alarm. Not sure what’s going on there.
Anyhoo, it was 80 degress on Saturday and Sunday was forecast to be just as nice. I’d also [...]

Planet Earth

For those of you with cable and who aren’t already watching this series, I highly recommend you do so.  It’s fantastic.  It’s on the Discovery Channel.  Watch it, you won’t regret it.
In other news…there is progress in the housing market.  I won’t go into anymore details for fear of jinxing it.  At this point, Paul [...]

I’ll take “Things Not Going Our Way” for $200, Alex

I don’t have too much to add to Paul’s post, but while he’s napping on the couch, I have a little bit of time to kill before I head back into the office to do a little bit of work. So, for your enjoyment, here’s my take on the week thus far.
I wasn’t as nauseated [...]

I’ll See Your Crappy Day and Raise it By Two!

Monday – Paul comes home from a long day at work, nauseated by Lander’s housing market and the ghastly news out of Blacksburg. Paul proceeds to be very grumpy with Kathryn.
Tuesday – Kathryn learns that a possible career opportunity is limited to those who would be willing to live in a certain town that begins [...]

Look at Me! Look at Me!

Awhile back, while perusing the internet on my lunch break I came across this article. I found it intriguing for several reasons. First, I wondered if my peers and I could be placed in this “Generation Me.” I don’t know if my generation, too young to be labeled as “Gen Xers” even [...]

Why Yes, I Would Like to Keep My Job

I’ve been officially invited back to the school next year. My contract was in my mailbox on Wednesday, and in the spirit of good-natured mockery that has come to define the reading of announcements during my 1st period class, I asked them if I should sign it.
Well, actually, first I toyed with them a little bit.
 ”Alright, gang, [...]

Dum Dum Da Dum

My younger sister, Abbey, and her boyfriend, Dan, got engaged this week!  Congratulations you two!  I couldn’t be happier for you guys.  How very exciting! 

This Seems Vaguely Familiar

I still don’t know if we’ve told many people about this blog, but eventually we will and eventually they can read these posts.  With that said… 
Remember way back last summer I tried to get in shape/be healthier/maybe even lose a couple of pounds?  Having a hard time recalling it?  Yeah, well that’s because it lasted, [...]

Air Shows

It’s Spring Break around here and frankly it’s about damn time. My first official morning off started pretty well: I slept in until 6, Kathryn and I walked together to her job, and then I returned to the apartment to pay some bills, clean the place up a little, and maybe even enjoy the luxury [...]

Welcome!

Lander received a good healthy whomping of snow late last week, and here it is, April Fool’s Day, and whatever high altitude plants might be budding are doing so under 10 inches of snow. We’re not complaining. These parts have been drier than a Baptist AA meeting for years now, and the winter drought felt [...]
